Xue Qiong and the three of them finished watching the image released by the mask, and then went to sleep. Although what V expresses does evoke in some way in his heart... Something, but they're not the kind of people who will meaninglessly change their plans just because of a touch, or a resonance.

While they were back asleep, something was happening in the forest.

Huaguoshan Nature Reserve has a wide area and a complex ecosystem, and it is rare to maintain the most primitive natural features in this world with highly developed science and technology.

And the most famous creatures in the world are monkeys.

I don't know how the biological populations of this world evolved and migrated in ancient times, in short, almost all primates can be found in Huaguo Mountain.

The golden snub-nosed monkeys that were supposed to live in Yunnan, the chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons that were supposed to live in Africa or South America, and even other apes, lemurs, and finger monkeys all miraculously lived together in Huaguo Mountain, with different species, in their respective suitable areas to live separately, and in some places formed a food chain that preyed on each other, making Huaguo Mountain a veritable "monkey mountain"... If explained by the theory of evolution in the real world, this is almost impossible.

By the way, in addition to monkeys, Huaguoshan also has some other animals and plants that should exist all over the world... Due to this geographical location, Huaguo Mountain can accommodate most of the temperate and tropical plants growing here.

The drugs that Xue Qiong sprinkled from the Rising World of the Planet of the Apes that can improve intelligence, that is, the drugs commonly known as brain dead drugs, were mixed in the air, covering almost the entire Huaguo Mountain, and finally breathed in by the animals.

And that drug is essentially a virus, and although it is not particularly contagious, it is still contagious. When the small creatures that have inhaled the drug are preyed upon by the larger organisms, the larger organisms have more chances of being infected with the drug... By daybreak, almost all the animals in the mountains that were able to prey on other animals were already affected by the drug, some by direct inhalation, while others were eaten by small animals infected with the virus.

At dawn, the whole mountain forest did not become as lively as before, but strangely... into a kind of silence.

After the abrupt development of the brain, the animals need a little time to re-understand the world they live in.

The birds looked at the sun curiously and wondered what it was. But they don't have the time and energy to do the "chirping in the treetops", which they themselves now realize has no special meaning other than in courtship.

After killing the first prey of the morning, the tiger wolves in the forest did not rush up to gobble it up as they used to, because they suddenly realized that the corpse in front of them, in addition to the different color of fur from their own, those bones and muscles also seemed to be a little different from their own...

And the primates that are the most distinctive in Huaguo Mountain, and they are also the most intelligent among animals, they also react greatly.

One of the most groundbreaking changes occurred in a group of monkeys.

These monkeys are not a cherished species, just the most ordinary, the most unremarkable, and not much cared for, and the kind of "ordinary monkeys" that are not characteristic in the real world. It's the kind of monkey that stands up only to the height of a person's knees, and often appears in the hands of monkey charmers, or in a cage behind a hotel kitchen.

To give you a figurative example, the laws of the empire are very strict, and if someone kills a first-class protected animal, such as a golden monkey, a gibbon, or something, and falls into the legal net, then he is likely to face the death penalty directly.

And this "ordinary monkey" ... If the Imperial Police uncover a restaurant suspected of trafficking in wild animals, which contains the classic and cruel signature dish of monkey brains, then all those involved will be imprisoned for less than 10 years, even if they are the first offenders.

One of the monkeys was released from the kitchen of a restaurant, and when it was free, there was only one left in the large cage where the monkeys were stored, where there were originally a dozen monkeys.

He and another monkey from an illegal circus were released into the forest by irresponsible conservationists, and after struggling to avoid dangers, they finally found the same species as them, and reintegrated into the local wild monkey population, where they lived for their lives.

One of the monkeys, from the circus, grew up in human society and learned sign language from humans, although it was of little use among monkeys... This morning, he was suddenly excited to gesture to everything he saw, and if there were words he hadn't learned, he could actually refer to them with a few gestures, with some strange syllables coming out of his mouth.

And the monkey from the kitchen, instead of being with his best friend this morning, left the monkey pack alone... After a moment of wandering in the woods, it saw something.

After Xue Qiong and the three of them parachuted, they directly let go of the plane and let it crash. Since the fuel had burned out, the plane did not explode after the crash, but simply fell in the woods.

The food monkey appeared next to the wreckage of the plane, as if guided by some mysterious force... It looked at the scattered pieces of steel, parts, gears, and propellers that were no longer turning, especially the propellers, and reminded it of something very bad.

The dimly lit kitchen, the dirty cages, the ill-intentioned eyes of the humans, the monkeys who betray each other and send their kind to death, and the old ceiling fans that slowly spin on the ceiling... It also couldn't tell the difference between the blades of a ceiling fan and the propeller of an airplane, so it remembered those things.

Also, don't forget that it was the only monkey to survive in the big cage of death. The ingredient monkeys, realizing that none of their companions who were taken away would ever come back, began to scramble to betray their kind, and it survived to the end... Robustness is secondary, it's just smarter than other kinds, and it's only the one who chooses to sell its kind the fastest to survive for a while.

If before today, its animal instincts might have only known that it was necessary to live, but today, it suddenly has a... Guilt, it doesn't know what it's like, but it just feels annoying and makes it hard for itself to breathe.

The monkey in the treetops suddenly trembled all over, and it subconsciously hugged its chest with its arms.

But it was supposed to use all fours, fastening itself to a branch, and as soon as its hands were empty, it fell under its feet... Thankfully, it was already fast, and now it's faster, allowing it to hang itself on a tree with its tail in time.

It was all upside down, and the wreckage of the plane that it was looking down on, although it teleported to the top of its head, was only because the direction of its view had changed... Realizing this fact, the monkey suddenly felt a little funny, although it didn't know the word, but if it did, it would definitely describe itself like this.

I'm free now...

The monkey strained its tail and crouched down on the branch again. It thought for a moment, then jumped off the tree, and in a few steps it was in the middle of the wreckage.

It bounced curiously among the metal wreckage, which was a pile of strangely shaped and smelling metal, which seemed to be somewhat different from the others. The monkey leaned in, but after inhaling more of that strange smell at close range, it sneezed heavily and then stepped back a distance in alarm.

But after being smoked like this, its head was only stunned for a moment, and then it immediately came to its senses, and it was much more sober than before. Naturally, it didn't realize this, but was relieved to find out that there was no danger here.

And then, for some reason, it suddenly stood up on its legs, pointed at the wreckage, and its mouth moved...

"Kim... Genus, tools..."

In its life in a kitchen cage, it also remembered some of the syllables that humans uttered, and although it didn't understand them at the time, it now...

After doing this, its fingers trembled again, and slowly pointed at itself.

"Food... Thing... Edible... Eat..."

The trembling hand moved to the side of his head again, and it first touched its head, felt the touch of its fur for a moment, and then stretched out a finger again, still trembling, and pointed to its head, and said:

"Mao... Skin... Skull... The head... Brain... Monkey brain... Eat... Delicious... The best to eat... Kitchen..."

Before he realized that he was becoming more fluent in human language, and that he was once again struck down by the fear he had once again, the monkey suddenly stretched out his arms and made an area in front of him.

"Bag... Loaded... Pack it in... The head... Brains, bags... Pretended... Brain..."

For the first time, it develops and understands meanings that it did not understand before through the vocabulary of the language it has memorized, while also speaking simple sentences.

It picked up a small piece of metal and held it in its hand and looked at it for a moment.

"Pi... Shell..."

It pointed to its chest, "Monkey..."

After saying this, it lowered its head and froze in place, not knowing what it was thinking. After a while, it revealed some expressions that had only been seen on human faces before, from tangled, to sad, to self-blame, to anger...

It suddenly pointed its finger at the wreckage, which didn't tremble any longer, and its eyes became less confused.

"Heads, humans, you, have."

"The food... I, no. ”

It suddenly raised its head, looked at the metal wreckage, pointed at its head, and its fingers didn't tremble anymore.

"Brain. Head....I have, too. Eat, no more. ”

It picked up a steel pipe from the wreckage of the plane, looked at the steel pipe and said, "Tools, monkey, I have them too." ”

Finally, it pointed at the other wreckage with its steel pipe, first raised its head to the sky and hissed, then slammed the steel all over the ground with the steel pipe, and roared incessantly.

"Food! Food! Mankind! Food! Kill! Food! Brain! Eat!!! ”
